Tips Before You Go

If you need a security escort to or from your vehicle in the parking lot, call 204-837-0366 — this service is available at any hour.
Pay your parking fees at the pay stations near the ER entrance or Main Entrance before you leave, rather than hunting for a cashier on the way out.
If you are arriving by Handi-Transit (Transit-Plus), direct your driver to the Admitting Entrance rather than the main ER door for the smoothest drop-off.
Grace Hospital has a Walk-In Clinic through Access Winnipeg West attached to the campus — if your concern is non-urgent, this may be a faster option than the ER.
Blue directional signage throughout the hospital will help you navigate to the Emergency Department, ICU, and other departments without getting turned around.
